Headlights should be on under which conditions?

Headlights are there to make you visible and to improve your own view of the road when light is low or visibility is reduced. The correct rule is to have them on from dusk to dawn and anytime visibility is poor or when your windshield wipers are in use. That means not just during rain, but also in fog, snow, or any time it’s dark or you can’t see clearly. This is broader than the other options: headlights shouldn’t be limited to rain or to tunnels, and it’s unsafe to drive with headlights off when conditions aren’t bright.
